If you've ever traded or provided liquidity on Uniswap, I've got good news for you! Uniswap just released a UNI governance token, which they've used 15% of the 60% of community rewards to thank all the Ethereum wallets that have ever used Uniswap. 400 UNI was awarded to anyone who ever traded or even attempted a trade (failed transactions included). The rest is rewarded proportionally based on how much liquidity was provided and for how long.

This tutorial covers how to claim that free UNI on Uniswap. Only the owner of the wallet address can claim the UNI by connecting their Ethereum wallet to Uniswap. If you have multiple wallets you've used on Uniswap, you can repeat this process with each wallet to claim possibly more UNI for each wallet. Watch my video and learn how!
